Qualify won this for Aidan O'Brien in 2014 and she went on to land the Oaks at Epsom. The stable run Elizabeth Browning, who had little chance in a Listed contest last time, and the newcomer NUTCRACKER SUITE, who is related to numerous winners and has entries in Group One races. The latter is given the nod as those with experience, including the Coolmore-owned Winter, have mainly disappointed though Magen's Moon has the scope to do better on this surface. Making Light is another first-timer to keep an eye on as she's from a very smart middle-distance family.
